Everyone is welcome to any of the services. The duty stewards
will be pleased to help you with any queries.

All are invited to stay for coffee and tea which are served in
Dovetail after the 10:30 and 6:30 services.

The words of hymns and songs are projected on to 6 large monitors
in the body of the church, but for anyone who prefers a hymn book,
standard print, large print and music books are available from the
stewards on request.

The Methodist Church welcomes all who seek to draw nearer to God
to share in communion. Please wait to be shown to the communion
rail by a steward to receive bread and wine, or if you require the
bread and wine to be brought to you in your seat, please tell the
steward when your row goes up to the rail.

Please note, at communion, the wine is non-alcoholic and wheat
bread is used - please tell the steward if you wish for gluten free
bread.

If you prefer to receive a blessing rather than bread and wine,
please indicate to the minister at the rail.

If you prefer to remain in your seat and pray, whilst others
receive communion, that is acceptable.

CTCF (Churches Together in
Chandler's Ford) Services

It is important to us that we make links with and occasionally
share in worship with other Christian churches. These services, at
various churches in Chandler's Ford as advertised, mark special
occasions in the Christian calendar, such as praying for church
unity, or Christian Aid week.

Circuit Services

Chandler's Ford Methodist Church is part of the Winchester and
Eastleigh Methodist Circuit. This means we are linked to a number
of other Methodist Churches and Local Ecumenical Partnerships. From
time to time, we hold joint services, to mark significant moments
in the life of the circuit.
